Physik der Schwermut ist ein wunderbares lyrisches Labyrinth. Wir werden durch das Leben des Autoren geführt, immer wieder in andere Zeit- und Lebensgänge geschickt. Das alles durchzogen von einem herrlich melancholischem Ton. Kein einfaches Buch aber ein lesenswertes.

The Physics of Sorrow by Georgi Gospodinov and narrated by Toby Stephens is a stunning work loosely based on the legend of the Minotaur as its analoous base and it really works
Toby Stephens is a fantastic narrator, emulating the highly emotive narrative with a captivating cadence
The author is navigating a labyrinth of life experiences which are grounded in the past, the rebirth of Bulgaria and the trepidation about a new, unknown future. Utterly engrossing and highly relatable, very much recommended
Thank you to Netgalley, Dreamscape Media, the author Georgi Gospodinov and narrator Toby Stephens for this exceptional ALC. My review is leftvoluntarily and all opinions are my own

Ale mi się to dłużyło, ale trzeba przyznać Gospodinow wielkim pisarzem jest, poprzez to, że balansuje na granicy mitu, realizmu magicznego, przeplata komunistyczny świat z teraźniejszością, smutną rzeczywistość z oniryzmem i wszystkimi przypadkowymi i niespodziewanymi historiami, które słyszymy przez całe nasze życie od przypadkowych osób, aby końcowo zespoliły się w jeden wielki relikt bizarności świata. Jedna gwiazdka mniej to chyba za moją średnią inteligencję i za małą dojrzałość, bo czytałam to przemykając przez strony z trudem, rozumiejąc czasem jedynie cień wypowiedzi, wciąż mając świadomość, że jest to coś wielkiego, ale nie mogę tego na ten moment w pełni pojąć
